[molpro-user] direct-MC-SCF is filling harddisk

Dear all,

I am trying to run a MC-SCF calculation for a rather big system.
In order to prevent molpro from filling my file system, I use the gdirect 
option. Nevertheless, the MC-SCF 
procedure seems to save data which I cannot locate (du or ls only show 
small files). Only  df tells me that data 
is written to the filesystem since the amount of free memory is 
continually decreasing.

By the way, the scratch disk I am using is a ramdisk. Using a normal 
harddisk is not possible because then,
the molpro is always waiting for the i/o to be completed and the 
calculation does not continue at all.

I'd appreciate your help if you could tell me what is going wrong and how 
I could prevent molpro from filling my
filesystems!

Best and thank you in advance
Andreas
